jwplotlc

Name
       jwplotlc
Purpose
       plot a lightcurve
Category
       lightcurve
Calling Sequence
       jwplotlc,time,count,error,/over,color=color,timerange=[tmin,tmax],
             time0=time0,/mjd,countrange=[cmin,cmax],psym=psym
Input Parameters
       time  : an array containing the time column
       count : an array containing the counts column
Optional Input Parameters
       error     : an array containing the uncertainty of the
                   count-rate; if set, errorbars are drawn
       dt        : the time-interval goes from time-dt to time+dt
       color     : specify the color of the plot
       time0     : if the light-curve is offset from the zero-point
                   of the MJD (=JD2400000.5), specify time0 to get
                   the correct date labeling.
       timerange : 2D array (in units of time) to specify the
                   timerange of the light-curve to be plotted.
       countrange: 2D-array, specifies range for y-axis if set.
       psym      : plot-symbol for plotting the data-points
       position  : a la plot-command
Keyword Parameters
        mjd      : set mjd to specify that the time-array is in MJD
                   (plus an offset given by time0 if set). In this
                   case the x-axis gets labeled with "real" dates.
        noxaxis  : don't plot an x-axis
Output Parameters
       none
Common Blocks
       none
Side Effects
       none
Restrictions
       none
Procedure
       jwplotlc detects spaces in the lightcurve and makes
       sure that no ugly lines are plotted across
Example
       jwplotlc,time,count,error,timerange=[100,1500],color=200
Revision History
       Version 1.0, JW, 1997/08/15: based on an earlier version of plotlc
             written by I. Kreykenbohm and J. Wilms.
